White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
1. Be6 seems to be a killer move.
Whether black takes or not, Qxg6 is coming with mate following.
I think Be6 wins
1. Be6 if fxe6 then whites mates with
Qxg6
so … 1. Bd8, then
2. Qh7+ Kf8
3. Rf1 black can struggle on some more with Nf4+
1 Be6!
White threatens Qxg6+, as the pinned g pawn won’t be able to take the Queen. Black can stall the mate a few moves by moving the Bishop to f6 and giving check with the Knight, but mate will soon follow.

1 Be6, and I don’t see any defence against 2. Qxg6
Be6 looks interesting as a way to undermine the knight which is the black king’s only protector (he keeps the white queen and rook from h8). I favor this over Bf5 for the simple reason that it is faster and threatens Qg6 immediately.
1. Be6 fe6
2. Qg6 Kf8
3. Rh8#
And declining the bishop does no good since white just takes the knight (the pawn is pinned).
queen to H 7 , and cehc ..
Be6
Be6, party’s over.
I liked 1. Qh7+ Kf8 where 2.Be6 threatens mate. But then black has 2…Bd8, letting the Queen defend. So White has to bring the bishop to 3. Bd5 for protection and that gives the queen access to the 3…Qd7 square. After that, they best White has is 4. Qh6+, but for what? 4…Ke7, 5. Qg7? and now Black strikes back with 5…Qg4+. And White is on the run. So this isn’t good at all.
Be6+-
Be6 and game over. How did Karpov let himself get in this position?

B-e6 ?
1. Be6 looks like it does the trick.
1. Qh7 f8
2. Bd1 b2
3. Bb3
Not sure how black can respond to that… any suggestions?
1. Qh7 f8
2. Bd1 b2
3. Bb3 Bd8
4. c5 d6xc5
5. Bxc5+ Ke8
6. Rf1
Not sure how black will respond to this. If black doesn’t stop it, then 7. Bxf7+ Qxf7
8. Qxf7++
1. Be6 then if fxe6 2.Qxg6 followed by 3. Rh8xx
If . . Bd8 then 2.Qxg6 Kf8 3. Rh8 Ke7 4. Qf6 mates.
Be6! 1-0
Right idea, but Be6! wins immediately.
1.Be6 looks winning, with the threat of 2.Qxg6+ whether or not Black captures the Bishop. Phil
